Why MYSTERIES? Because that is the genre I read. Why PARADISE? Because that is where I live.
Among other things, this blog, the result of a 2008 New Year's resolution, will act as a record of books that I've read, and random thoughts.

Barossa Band Festival 2008

Yesterday was the Barossa Band Festival and Enfield Brass not only won their C grade section, but also the street march, and the best drum major trophy.

This is the same band that will appear in the Adelaide Christmas pageant in a couple of weeks' time and plays as the Klemzig Oompah Band at the Schuetzenfest in January every year. A versatile band that contains 3 generations of the Magin family, and my husband, younger daughter, and her husband.

Now you and I might have some mutual acquaintances! I've known some brass bandsmen (and women) over the years because of my association with The Salvation Army.

Now Schutzenfest is one thing that I do think is pretty much uniquely Adelaide. I don't so much remember getting completely schitzenfaced there, but I remember a lot of my friends doing so! Where do they hold the event now? I used to go when they still held it up in Hahndorf, but it's been moved to the city now hasn't it?
